Personality Assessment

by Robert P. Archer (Editor), Steven R. Smith (Editor)

Personality Assessment provides an overview of the most popular self-report and performance-based personality assessment instruments. Designed with graduate-level clinical and counseling psychology programs in mind, the book serves as an instructional text for courses in objective or projective personality assessment. It provides coverage of eight of the most popular assessment instruments used in the United States―from authors key in creating, or developing the research base for these test instruments. The uniquely informed perspective of these leading researchers, as well as chapters on clinical interviewing, test feedback, and integrating test results into a comprehensive report, will offer students and clinicians a level of depth and complexity not available in other texts.

Required reading for my Psychological Assessment class. Provided thorough and necessary information on the various tests. Sometimes the info was bogged down with too many citations making it tedious to read. Good thing I had a great professor that cut through the unnecessary info.
